Jamal Williams hurt?

God. If there was ever a team that needed a bye it's us. I'm happy that we're continuing to win with our backups at key positions, but it sure would be nice if we could get our injury-list whittled down to a manageable level.

Jamal hasn't been really having problems, its probably just sore or he kinda twisted it
But yeah seeing him on the list does kinda scare you

I don't know. He's not the same player he was earlier in the season. I think he may have been banged up even before the Denver game. Back as far as the Cincy game he's getting pushed back off the LOS way more than usual, and at times by a single blocker which you usually never see happen to Jamal. More than anything else, this defense needs him back healthy.

A Manageable level, would that be in the neighborhood of 20 :icon_shrug:

yes, I've noticed that, too. He seems to be less effective lately than in the first three or four games or so.

I would rest Castillo at least one more game. I think we need to adjust our defensive schemes to work around our thin resources. I'm not sure if that means blitzing more up the middle or what.... we need to see more pressure than we've had the last couple of weeks.

I know you said you haven't sorted through any of them, but Landry would only be a good 4-3 Tackle. He would be a good 3-4 DE, but we have enough depth there to not use a high pick on him, as from what I have heard he should go in the first two rounds.

How about Johnathon Bailes from SDSU? Even though I'm not a big college football guy, I thought he would be a good pro from his freshman year. Any assessment of him? SDSU always seem to produce decent pro defensive players (Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, La'Roi Glover, Kirk Morrison, Brian Russell, Will Demps, etc.)

I don't care where they find Jamall's backup and understudy. But I'm hoping next year they find him. Just the thought of loosing jamall totally changes how our defense plays.
